With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a "dressed" Barack Obama. The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.

The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa. "Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

If we viewed a photo of Hillary in say an Irish Step Dancing outfit would anyone flip out?

nope, but if you put her in a pair of arkansas daisy dukes, it might give one a pause.

Kucinich is my candidates, the Corporatist MSM didn't even let him debate. Ron Paul can't win, Neverland Nader can't win.

HRC is a tough street fighting politician. That's the world she grew up in. It's not serving her well, but please name a president who didn't use Negative campaigning.

Obama is my choice. He has the charm and oratorical skills the every president has had. Yet Obama also has the issues down.

If your mind is still open, listen to this video of Obama being interview by the SF newspaper board. Just issues.

IT'S OK! IT'S OK! DO NOT PANIC! I REPEAT, DO NOT PANIC! DOCKERS AND POLYESTER ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE UNDERNEATH!

I DON'T THINK HE'S ONE OF THOSE RADICAL KENYANS WHO ATTACKED US! Oh, wait...

Well, come to think of it, they are pretty radical. The Kenyan students here, the way they're so nice and polite and work so hard--what could be more radical?

When is someone on this web site going to do the story about how this is being circulated by NEWSMAX.com. I received this in my email box 2 months ago.

What does it say about the candidates, both McCain's campaign and Clinton's - that the wisdom and experience they say they have, so strongly contrasts with the way they try to use Barack Obama's name as a negative?

If they are so globally sophisticated, wouldn't they consider using his name as some political weapon a demonstration of an incredibly naive view of the world, foreign policy and the way the US is perceived?

I liked Maggie William's reply to this story. In a simple memo, she explains why GOP, Independents, and even some media do not like Hillary and her brand of politics. She practically admitted their involvement in the photo release and tried to smoke and mirror her way out. How lame that was, however it does the country good in exposing the Clintons.

Even some hard core Democrats may be waking up and truly seeing the Clintons for what they are.....vicious frauds who have no business in running for the White House. Borrowing Clinton catch-phrase: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Read Daily Howler and Drudge needs to answer the following and quit being part of the media problem

"The issue, of course, involves Drudge’s pronouncement about that photograph of Obama. Mooing contentedly, Drum observed that Drudge’s post was “ambiguous—who distributed the photo—who did it go to?” Indeed, Drum’s caveat put matters mildly; as any advanced fifth grader could see, Drudge didn’t say that “Clinton staffers” had sent the photo in question to him; he simply said that unnamed Clinton staffers had “circulated” the photo (where, he didn’t say), and he quoted an accompanying e-mail message—without saying who the e-mail had gone to. Do you mind if we draw two simple conclusion­s—conclusi­ons so simple a child could reach them? First: In all likelihood, no Clinton staffer sent the photo to Drudge, or the brilliant fellow would have said that they had. Second: For all anyone knows, some Clinton staffer sent the photo to a friend in Obama’s campaign, and the photo and e-mail proceeded from there. Is that what happened? We have no idea. But then, no one but Drudge has the slightest idea what facts (if any) lay behind his report—which didn’t keep a pair of moo-cows from mooing the Drudge story forward."

I just read the BEST assessment of the true damage of this from Ellen Hamm:

However, I am now fearful for Obama as he becomes the frontrunner. Pictures like this, as mild as they are, inflame hate. What happens when hate is inflamed? Bullets fly. Whomever is doing this should be careful, because if Hillary's campaign is sending this they should be prosecuted for hate crimes. Not because they are hating, but they should know that America can be dangerous. Her experience as First Lady should inform her actions. There is no justification for her to inflame this underbelly of violence.

There is no evidence that this came from the campaign. so until evidence is shown, please stop saying things like "There is no justification for her to inflame this underbelly of violence." because she didn't do this. her campaign didn't do this.

Clinton screams over NAFTA mailers, yet she is glad to support this photo?

That says a lot about her.

NAFTA mailers are lies, that have been pointed out to the Obama campaign, yet they persist in sending them out.

First there is NO evidence that the Hillary Clinton campaign sent these out.

This picture is just a picture. and there are lots of pictures of Hillary in similarly "damaging" garb. The point is that people can wear whatever they want. And the media are making a be fuss about it.

It's a fund raising bonanza for Obama. It's not even a smear.

This is such a canard. Lt. Commander William T. Riker wore feathers while visiting Armus IX.

And this is exactly why the democrats will lose in "08". Obama is bringing way to many friggin idiots to the party. They have NO F****** clue who Matt Drudge is and what he really supports, hint, hint..the republican agenda.
